Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 45

When Mandy went back home after work, Stanley and Madeline were busy with their work. As expected, Stanley was in the study reading some office documents. Since the Zhou Group had just gone through a crisis period, Stanley had to look into the office matters to put a lot of things in place. And, as usual, Madeline was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Mandy looked at the house longingly. Her eyes were filled with deep love and attachment to the house where she had spent the best years of her life. She knew she would not come back to this house the following night. This was perhaps the last night that she would spend under this roof, with her loving parents. She had just come back but was going to leave again.

After dinner, the close-knit family of three sat on the sofa and chatted with each other in a harmonious atmosphere. Stanley and Madeline were very delighted to have Mandy with them. They also talked about Mandy's future, which eventually led to talk of her marriage.

"Mand is so beautiful. She'll surely marry a handsome man in future!" Madeline laughed heartily as she took a sip from her teacup.

"What's the use of being handsome? Mandy has a very refined taste. She has her eyes on an artistic and business-minded Prince Charming," Stanley retorted, expressing his disagreement with his wife.

Mandy quietly watched her parents as they shared such a candid moment with each other. She didn't want to interrupt them. After all, she hadn't seen them laughing for so long.

"Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you," Mandy cleared her throat and said in a soft voice.

Both Madeline and Stanley stopped their conversation immediately and turned their faces towards Mandy. They listen attentively to their daughter.

Mandy bit her lips before speaking to them slowly, "Dad, Mom, I know you might be unhappy to hear this. But I still have to share this with you. Our hospital is working on a research project, and I've participated in it. So, I'm quite busy with it. Our colleagues have decided to move into the hospital, so it's convenient for the smooth progress in our research work."

After saying that, Mandy paused for a while and breathed a sigh of relief.
